Bruin Preview

The Ultimate George Fox Visit Experience!

Of all our visit options, Bruin Preview offers the most in terms of showing you what makes Fox such a special place. Mingle with faculty, coaches and current students, attend a class of your choice, and learn about our majors. You'll hear about our financial aid and admissions processes, meet with your admissions counselor, and hear about opportunities outside the classroom.

To get an insider's glimpse of campus life, you can also eat Bon Appétit meals with new friends, spend the night in a residence hall, and attend a student government-planned event.

Come with plenty of questions, an appetite for great food and music, and most importantly, a desire to kick back and have fun.

Transportation

Transportation is available from the Portland airport, train station or bus depot for students traveling from outside the local area without a parent or guardian.

Please email visit@georgefox.edu with your itinerary at least a week before Bruin Preview if you need transportation. We will then follow-up with you regarding pick-up details.

If you will be driving yourself to/from the airport, keep in mind that it is about an hour away from campus, so plan accordingly. Here are directions to our campus if you will be arriving on your own.

Transfer Students

We know: You've been through this before. You know the drill. You have a different set of questions and concerns. Not to worry. We will get you the info you need, in addition to showing you what campus life is like at George Fox University.

Parents and Guests

Parents and guests, we encourage you to attend with your son or daughter to help them process their experience here and ask questions they may not consider. We value your input (so do your kids, believe it or not). Join us for a continental breakfast to address your questions specifically and meet with and hear from George Fox faculty, admission counselors, financial aid counselors, coaches and current students. Since campus housing is limited to students, here are some suggestions for nearby lodging.
